Where to find upfitter connector

Recommended Posts

This unused plug near the driver side kick panel is the upfitter plug?

 

Where do I get the plug for it? Preferably with a pigtail.

That is for electric trailer brake control.

 

What do you mean by "Upfitter plug?"

Found them:

 

Nice to have a place to tap into for power.

 Have you looked for and found a source for the mating plugs to make a clean way of using these pre-wired locations? On Page 168 it shows two locations in the engine compartment to tap into. They would be handy ones to use for adding Aux lighting (fog lamps, driving lights, etc), it would be nice to find the female plugs for them also.

It turns out those connectors in the engine compartment are the other end of the ones under the dash.  No power to any of it and I never sourced the connectors.

Well, that is interesting, I didn't check to see if there was power to them, I guess I shouldn't have assumed there was, but was just thinking that if the manual referenced them as uplifts, they would have power to them. I have a couple of places to check on connectors, I'll post if I find some.

This is a copy of my post under the upfits thread:

 

For anyone who is looking for the disconnects to put inside the two prong upfitter connector they are 9.53mm female disconnects. They go in with a very satisfying click and don't budge once they are in place.

 

The same disconnects are used on both the engine side and the cab side even though the upfitter connector is different.

 

I'm using them on the cab side as well, just without a upfitter connector until I can find it. Slide them on and put electrical tape around the housing to keep dust and dirt out.

 

Available Amazon and ebay if you search for:

 

TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP 280755-4 TERMINAL, FEMALE DISCONNECT, 9.53MM, CRIMP (10 pieces)

You can use mini fuse tap adapters to connect power on the cab side if you need it. Some things will make sense to connect there and some will make sense to connect on the engine side.

I actually did have the correct disconnects for the four prong connector as well. Search this Amazon or eBay:

 

Uxcell Metal Female Spade Terminal for Nylon Multi-Pin Connector, 1.5 mm Width 50 Pieces
